The Girl and Her Sword [Comprehensive + Sword III]

Quietly hidden under the lights, thundering thunder.

After Ruan Qingwu entered the City Lord's Mansion, the murderous aura that had been suppressed for the past few days burst out concentratedly.

Trapped in an illusion for the past few days to be teased by ghosts, caught in a predicament, Ruan Qingwu was indifferent on the surface, and returned the color to Xu Cheng's intentional or unintentional contempt, and regained the dominance after San Riyue gave her such a surprise. , can still walk around the city at such an unhurried pace, laying down the mecha, it's not that she is not surprised or angry, or in a hurry, in fact, after Sanriyue left with Fan Niang, she wanted to destroy After thinking about this ghost, it was only because she thought of the deep meaning behind San Riyue's actions, and also took into account San Riyue's own wishes, that she endured it until she finished testing Xu Cheng and found out the other truth about this ghost, and she endured it for a long time. The killing intent emanated from her without restraint.

"Heh," she chuckled and raised her voice, "Where is Fan Niang?"

Even though the murderous intent was overflowing, she still had a smile on her face, but before the smile reached her eyes, it turned into a piece of ice in her eyes.

There was no one in the silent city lord's mansion, Ruan Qingwu looked around for a week, then walked towards the main courtyard of the mansion.

After the baptism of time, the city lord's mansion does not have the small and beautiful Jiangnan gardens. Instead, it is solemn and solemn, looking at this person who stepped on the ground quietly.

Ruan Qingwu's footsteps turned, she was not slow, and after listening to Xu Cheng's talk about the layout of the City Lord's Mansion, she arrived at the front hall of the main courtyard in half an hour.

As the lord of the city, apart from entertaining guests, this front hall may also have the function of handling public affairs and recruiting talents. Therefore, compared with other mansions, the front hall of the city lord's mansion is more magnificent. A couch is placed At the highest point, a series of seats are arranged on the sides.

And in the place that symbolizes the highest power, there is a pair of dead bones wearing a wedding dress.

The wedding dress has withstood the invasion of time, the wedding crown on the head has been damaged to almost nothing, the pearls and jade worn on the body are also dilapidated, and the gorgeous silk has lost its luster, but the mask under the wedding crown is as new as ever, showing that the corpse identity of.

She is Fan Niang.

According to Xu Cheng, when he built the city, he did not burn Fan Niang like others, but placed her in the main hall to suppress the ghosts. How thoughtful he was, he only hurriedly used the inner alchemy to destroy the formation, and put Fan Niang here as the eye of the formation, then lost his strength and became a ghost fox and slept until now.

Ruan Qingwu turned the pen, and the horned dragon moved towards the mask on the face of the corpse with the force of thunder.

However, in the blink of an eye, she entered the city that never sleeps, and the pen pointed to the crescent moon with a calm smile on her face.

"It's you." Ruan Qingwu looked at him for a while, without changing his face, and said calmly.

"It's me." Sanriyue said with a smile.

Then Ruan Qingwu shifted his gaze to Fan Niang who was sitting beside her smiling, raised her eyebrows, "Satisfied?"

"Hahahahaha..." Fan Niang laughed for a while before she stopped laughing, she said, "It's so funny, you two, master and servant, are really interesting."

"Oh?" Ruan Qingwu smiled coldly, "I think you are also very interesting."

"How to say?" A bad premonition welled up in Fan Niang's heart. She laughed, leaned back, and asked leisurely, "What did you find?" The robe slid down, revealing a bit of white skin and a looming collarbone. Ruan Qingwu saw it, and directly pressed San Riyue's head in his arms, blocking his sight.

"Heh, anyway, after these few days of work, he has seen what he should have seen, and what he shouldn't have seen..." Fan Niang said with a giggly smile, still unsatisfied.

"Heh." Ruan Qingwu chuckled when he heard the words, "Are you sure he wanted to watch it himself, or did you force him to watch it?"

"..." Fan Niang was choked and speechless.

San Riyue allowed her to assert her dominance domineeringly, and very cooperatively buried her face in her embrace with the fragrance of green grass, and smiled sullenly.

"Do not deny it?" Qingwu smiled contemptuously, "If so, I will feel sorry for this guy."

"You're still young," Fan Niang adjusted her mentality, and said with a frivolous smile, "I don't know that men have never said this on their own will."

"Really." Ruan Qingwu said lightly, "Even so, it's my business, and it's not your turn to intervene."

Although her voice was faint, San Riyue could hear it, and there was a bit of laughter in her seemingly calm tone.

It seems that no one except him has discovered that Ruan Qingwu, who seems to be no different from a normal person, is actually very good at hiding his true emotions in words, and after daily observations, he can finally distinguish a little bit of Ruan Qingwu's true emotions. For example, now, she seems to be irritated by Fan Niang and has become suspicious of San Riyue, but she just refuses to admit it, but San Riyue can hear it. The mother's words are disguised.

What a naughty master...he sighed in his heart.He tugged Ruan Qingwu's sleeve and signaled her not to play anymore.

Ruan Qingwu froze, blinked, and said to Fan Niang, "Let's talk."

"Tell me." Fan Niang didn't think that Ruan Qingwu alone could know the whole truth, so she was very unscrupulous.

Ruan Qingwu took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on San Riyue's chair, and San Riyue lay down on the spacious couch, comfortably resting on Ruan Qingwu's lap.

"Xu Cheng wants me to liberate thousands of innocent souls in this city, including you naturally." Ruan Qingwu's tone was still calm, but San Riyue knew that she was getting serious.

"So you want to liberate me?" Fan Niang asked in disbelief.

"Yeah." Ruan Qingwu nodded, "Mengjie has been closed to the outside world for a long time, so you can't get in, and there's nothing to go there, why don't you take this opportunity to reincarnate quickly."

"What do you want to say?" Fan Niang didn't take her words, but said coldly.

"What I want to say is," Ruan Qingwu blinked again, "Where do we start? Let's start with the ghost we came in." She said, "Actually, Ruan Rongzhi is no longer here. That's right. The Ruan Rongzhi I met was just your arrangement. The purpose is to confuse my cognition and make me believe in that legend."

"Why?" Fan Niang asked back.

"Because," Ruan Qingwu said after a pause, "You still listen to me. After I was awakened by Zong Jin, you made me think that I returned to reality. In fact, it was just another illusion, but you really You tried to make me unable to tell the difference, but you also succeeded, I really didn't tell the difference." She said lightly, "But then you made a failure, you wanted to use the truth thousands of years ago as bait to make me Go to the city lord's mansion, to the trap you set. However, you have been a ghost for too long, and you forgot one thing. In reality, not all houses can lose and gain color in an instant. Your orientation is too Heavy, even Zong Jin was used by you just to let me go to the City Lord's Mansion...it was too deliberate." She shook her head. "However, although I knew that you wanted me to go to the City Lord's Mansion, I didn't know your intentions, so I simply resorted to tricks and let you succeed in order to see your real body, and what you said when you showed up later also exposed you. It makes me more sure that Ruan Rongzhi does not exist."

"Why?" Fan Niang asked.

"In order to convince me that Ruan Rongzhi really exists, you specifically said, 'Such a quiet illusion is not my style.'" Ruan Qingwu said, "However, this sentence proves that in the previous illusion, you You were also there, combined with what happened later, it is not difficult to guess, although you want me to recognize the existence of Ruan Rongzhi, but you are not completely disguised, even if you are the leader here, you still cannot perfectly disguise into two people."

"You are very smart." Fan Niang said. "Is there any more?"

"Hey." Ruan Qingwu sighed, "Next, although you let me see Zong Jin, my knife was very naughty, and I beat it back temporarily, which I didn't expect. But what he did reminded me, There might be something inside the rumors, so I followed your wishes and met Xu Cheng. What Xu Cheng told me later was the last piece of the puzzle, and I finally pieced together the final truth."

"Let's hear it." Fan Niang said with folded arms.

"..." Ruan Qingwu said with a slight smile. "For thousands of years, the only obsession you can't let go of is not Xu Cheng, but Ruan Rongzhi, right?"

"..." There was a crack on Fan Niang's mask, she said sharply, "You... how did you know?"

"Childhood sweethearts, they're pretty good friends," Ruan Qingwu shook his head, "You're not waiting for Xu Cheng, what you've been waiting for is actually Ruan Rongzhi. You've been waiting for him to give you an explanation, a confession, a heart, Is not it?"

"But you haven't waited until now." Ruan Qingwu sighed, "In fact, Ruan Rongzhi left Qucheng after your appearance was ruined, and went to seek medical treatment for you, but you didn't know this, and you have been fooling around in the city. Waiting for him to come back...Xu Cheng told me all of this, but unfortunately, when he died, he didn't find any medicine to restore his appearance, so he could only ask Xu Cheng to come and see how you are doing. But Xu Cheng has never met you before, and doesn't know your appearance, and secondly, he encountered a mutiny, and before he had time to tell you, he..."

"How could he not recognize me! Me! Isn't it difficult to recognize me like this?" Fan Niang roared hoarsely, she covered the mask, and big tears rolled down her cheeks.

"...Do you think," Qingwu sighed, "that he, who truly loves you, will spread the fact that your appearance has been destroyed to the outside world, for people to ridicule or pity? With your character, which kind It's not what you want."

"You are lying, you are lying!" Fan Niang screamed, her body began to reveal bones, her voice became shrill and crazy, "All this is not true! I was abandoned by him!"

"This is another omission of yours." Ruan Qingwu said lightly, "It is also your most fatal omission. Although you pretended to be Ruan Rongzhi, you revealed your bones in front of me in order to seek a sense of reality. Generally speaking , for ordinary people, they can't recognize this bone. I think you may not have done much research on this, so you exposed your own bones, right? But I can tell at a glance that the bones you exposed are women's Bones do not have masculine characteristics, so a person with female bones pretending to be a man..." She stopped, and the following words were self-explanatory.

"How do you know this?!" Fan Niang asked, having turned into bones and her wedding dress becoming tattered.

"The people in Wanhua Valley don't know much about medicine, but the exercises they learn on a daily basis are inseparable from the human body, so they can be regarded as proficient." Ruan Qingwu said lightly, "But if you want to ask me why I know this, I can only Say, I am not a ghost, everything is in front of your eyes, but you are blinded by resentment and have not seen it." She said, standing up, "Actually, you are right, he really likes you , and until the last moment, he didn't want to abandon you. Your father didn't show you the letter he left you for your own good, but you had a misunderstanding and killed him on the day of the mutiny. The people of the city will be buried with your resentment. In fact, there is no wedding day, and the nightless city you set up is actually celebrating the Lantern Festival, isn’t it? I’m afraid that was also the day you first met him.”

"It's so pitiful." San Riyue originally leaned comfortably in Ruan Qingwu's arms to listen to the story, and when she heard the end, she couldn't help sighing.

"A poor person must have something to hate. On the contrary, a hateful person also has something to be pitiful." Ruan Qingwu watched Fan Niang's mask shatter several times, rolling and screaming on the ground. "If I hadn't made an appointment with Xu Cheng, I would have made her go to another life, and I would have let her die like the thousands of ghosts outside the city." She hugged San Riyue and muttered angrily.

"Heh." San Riyue patted her hand comfortingly, and because he was in such a good mood, he took the initiative to admit his mistake, "It's my fault, I made a decision without saying hello to you."

"You're not good." Ruan Qingwu glared at him when he heard this, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, the reason why you made this decision is to induce me to save her like this, isn't it? If it weren't for you I'm not going to care about Xu Cheng's conditions here, and the reason why you feel compassion for her is that you hurt her, right?"

"Yes." Anyway, she couldn't hide it from her, San Riyue admitted it openly.

"It's your fault." Ruan Qingwu heaved a sigh of relief, glanced at him again, and said coldly, "You actually equate yourself with them. To me, how can you be the same as them? But you equate yourself with them?" On a par with them...."

San Riyue didn't listen to the nagging that followed, and was already stunned when he heard the second sentence.

Ah.....Is that so?

It turns out...that's it.

Her heart was pounding, and Fan Niang was still screaming, but her voice had gradually diminished along with Ruan Qingwu's nagging, blending into the background. Quick, louder and louder heartbeats.

tonight...

In reality, the horned dragon finally shattered the bride's mask, and Fan Niang disappeared completely. When Ruan Qingwu took him away from the illusion, he looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky of the city that never sleeps, and thought.

The moonlight is so beautiful.
